Pizza Hut launches 'pizza cookie' at millennials

Pizza Hut introduced the "pizza cookie" which contains an average of 165 Hershey's semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Nothing washes down a giant round calorie bomb like another, so Pizza Hut is rolling out the "pizza cookie."

The 8-inch dessert is cut into eight slices featuring an average of 165 Hershey's semi-sweet chocolate chips per cookie. The "Ultimate Hershey's Chocolate Chip Cookie," as they're calling it, is available starting today for $4.99 when bought along with a pizza, or $5.99 on its own. And yes, you can get it delivered.

Amid an obesity crisis and within an increasingly health-conscious nation, it doesn't seem like America would have the appetite for such a dish. But, according to industry watchers and Pizza Hut, the desire among a certain high-metabolism group to feel a part of communal gatherings is apparently even stronger than their need to watch their waistline.

TODAY.com editors gave the cookie pizza a taste test, and the best we could come up with was a fittingly unremarkable "it tastes like a cookie." We're not knocking it — there are certainly times when a standard cookie will do the job.

Though if you were to throw down a whole pie, you might feel similarly to one of our editors, who called it "a box of regrets."
